Blog Watch was conceived from lessons learned in 2004 elections through PCIJ traning of 3 bloggers, where focus of traditional media was on celebrity, scandals, election violence,mudslinging & scandals- exchange of accusations between parties and politicians becomes “entertainment”, campaign becomes talent show, candidates being contestants etc
Blog Watch is hosted by Vibal Foundation’s Philippine Online Chronicles and will be launched on November 24, 2009, from 11 am to 2 pm at the Max’s Restaurant in Bel-Air, Makati City
Blog Watch intends to cover underplayed stories in various formats (podcast, video, articles, commentaries) that will complement traditional media, such as stories that promote voters’ education and automated elections, campaign fund sources and expenditures, background of candidates, personal background, political background. This will be different from the past 2004 election where focus was on celebrities, scandals, election violence, mudslinging, exchange of accusations between parties, and where politicians have become “entertainers”, campaigns have become talent show, and even candidates have come in the form of “contestants”.

So I ran on my own pace and competed with myself, competed against the thought that I will not be able to last, and will end up walking. Well, my first 5k run was with the GMA 7 sponsored “Tatakbo ka ba?” and I FINISHED IT

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.

Alright, we blogged a lot about personal branding both online and on the real world, and this is more on positioning our career in the marketplace. We also discussed about using web 2.0 to our advantage. But there are corporations and clients that are looking beyond what you can bring to the table, more than the skills they are looking at the added value you’ll bring to the organization.img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PersonalBranding/~4/ISqVyq_yFKw” height=”1″ width=”1″/
